Lori, what I don't understand is that early on you had said you were getting a nice bit of relief from pain if I remember correctly. When did it transition to less relief? And was it after a tweaking had occurred? It's just so perplexing! Man I hope it does get back on track for you, I can not make myself believe this is it. You know, maybe it will, as they say, take some time to get it absolutely correct. We are both hoping and praying for this to resolve itself and for you to get back on a pain-relieving keel. Hang in their dear friend, keep your chin up if you can and let's all try to be patient at this point. We are expecting improvement for you with this. With love to you Lori, Hank & Linda

@jesfactsmon Hi again, Hank, Yes, I was getting a bit of relief, especially in the mornings and early afternoon. I would say that sometime at the beginning of this week, it just stopped helping. and yes, it was helping after ABBOTT tweaked it at my last appointment. This week I both upped and lowered the electricity and nothing helped at all. I still pray that it will work, though. I cannot give up on that hope. Today I walked a lot, as my feet are in much less/no pain, when walking. Quite a bitch of a disease. I only hope that everything I tell you helps you learn and decide things about Linda. Then at least, my doing it was not completely worthless. Only time will tell. Now I gotta eat some ice cream. I do that, and it cheers me up. I think it raises endorphins, and I could use that!!!! Thanks for everything, Hank. YOU DA BEST!!!! Lori
